You mean it is possible to speak
MSCP on a DSSI bus without
an additional protocol layer?
Or do you mean that (only?) non-DSSI controllers a la RQDXx and
[KU]DA50 can speak MSCP without SCA/SCS?
(I think so. I am not sure, and I do not have the
docs at hand.)
I hope they exist / are available at all.
I have got a very strong feeling I was wrong. (Sorry)
But if you have to talk SCA/SCS with the DSSI-devices, that might be a
problem, since SCA/SCS is not published, and no implementations are
available.
(The Ultrix implementation may be closest, even though it is limited)
